Morehead, KY – A fifth consecutive loss at the doubles point proved too much for Austin Peay State University women’s tennis team to overcome at Morehead State, Saturday, ultimately leading to a 5-2 Lady Govs loss.

The defeat deals a blow to Austin Peay’s OVC Tournament aspirations, dropping the Lady Govs to 5-11 overall (2-5 in the OVC). Morehead State improves to 9-10 overall (6-2 OVC).

Despite picking up a doubles victory by senior Andra Cornea and junior Ornella Di Salvo, Austin Peay could not secure the doubles point. It’s a trend that has haunted the Lady Govs during OVC play – Austin Peay has not won a doubles point in OVC play since April 7th, 2013 against Belmont. For Cornea and Di Salvo, the 8-6 win against Briar Preston and Alex Tachovsky is the pairing’s seventh victory this season.

Although four Lady Govs took home straight-set singles losses, a pair of Austin Peay athletes came away with victories. Junior Vanessa Tavares snapped a three-match losing streak with a 6-2, 6-4 win against Dominique McLean at No. 3 singles.

Freshman Hannah Tatlock continued her winning ways, knocking off Sandrine Beaule 6-4, 7-6 at No. 5. The win is the third in a row for Tatlock and her eighth during the spring campaign, tying her with Di Salvo for the team high.
